Learning Outcomes: ·

  • Ability to analyze 2-D and 3-D force systems and moments and relate them to our physical environment         
  • Ability to draw free body diagrams of 2-D and 3-D structures including frictional forces        
  • Ability to apply the conditions of static equilibrium to simple structures, recognize static indeterminancy, and determine member forces and support reactions        
  • Understand the stress-strain relationships, yielding of engineering materials and engineering properties, and failure of materials        
  • Ability to analyze stresses and deformations of structural members such as beams, circular shafts, and thin-walled pressure vessels under external loads and apply the concepts to structural design        
  • Understand the Mohr’s circle, principle values and directions of stress and strain, and perform 2-D transformations of stresses. Understand simple structural instability and safety through the analysis of buckling of beams

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
